What is Law? The question has been given many answers.' If we are nominalist enough we can list the various ways the word is used, as did Marsiglio of Padua and William of Occam in the fourteenth century. If we are realist enough (in the medieval sense) we can try to construct definition of the genus. We can define human law with Montesquieu as one variety of the necessary relations arising from the nature of things. We can define it Positivistically with Austin as the command of the sovereign; or Realistically (in peculiar moder sense of the word) as officials do about disputes, or a prediction of what courts will do. We can equate law with morals or distinguish the two. We can make justice the defining quality of law or say law is law whether just or not
